During this long and tedious process, you will get better at the game, and the challenges will become somewhat more manageable.
True to its rogue-lite inspiration, it is built around the idea of trial and error: you will die a lot, and we mean A LOT, and you will get resurrected at the beginning of the level, going at it again and again until you succeed. And you will need all the advantages you can get since Fury Unleashed is very difficult to even on Normal mode. The abundance of loot crates placed in the levels, combined with the merchants placed generously, ensures that you will always have an entire arsenal at your service. Presented as frames of a virtual comic book, you will visit a jungle landscape taking on zombies and voodoo priests, you will clean-up a secret neo-Nazi camp and you will also take on aliens using their own spaceships.Įach level is randomly generated from various building elements, the game mixing and matching different enemy types, including 40 mini-bosses, a number of missions, various traps, contraptions, weapons, and traders. All this mayhem is born from the mind of a comic creator down on his luck, but as in any good B category movie, the story is just an excuse to frame the action. The offense is still the best defense, but you have to plan your route and adapt on the go so you can keep the combo counter as high as possible. The key to success is to link all your actions into one endless brutal ballet performance.
Fury Unleashed is an action movie with a lot of bloodshed, built around a tough as nails hero who spits lead like a turret, jumps around like an athlete high on adrenaline, beats his enemies to a pulp with a baseball bat or guts them with a Rambo knife. If nothing of this rings any bell so far, think about any movie made by Schwarzenegger or Stallone when they still had bulging muscles. If you are in the least curious about these legendary names, Fury Unleashed is like a modern gateway to a period when videogames involved skills and perseverance. If you are old enough to remember Contra or the already mentioned Metal Slug series, you know exactly what to expect. If you like to push yourself to become better and better, the classic, combo-based gameplay will challenge you and punish you for even the smallest mistakes.
Fury Unleashed offers over 20 hours of fun, being honest, if difficult 2D action platformer, which sticks to its origins without trying to innovate or revolutionize anything. Although most of them still lack in one department or another, you can find unexpected success stories, like this rogue-lite game of polish pedigree. We are swimming lately in a sea of indie games, with titles representing all genres of videogames and even cross genres. Being a game equally inspired by Metal Slug and Comix Zone, Fury Unleashed is a love letter to all the fans of the Megadrive era which ticks all the right boxes. Awesome Games Studio has been working for almost five years on a game that combines cartoon-like graphics with Rambo level violence and a difficulty level that makes you question your sanity when it comes to choosing videogames.
